ROCKFORD BURNT VOICE COIL - REP CUT MY SUB IN HALF

05 June 2010 - 07:49 AM

Hey All, Just wanted to share some info and see what ya's reckon. I'm not much of a speaker man, so i took my suby to Autobarn to have a sub installed as the mcintosh had been unplugged when upgrading head unit. After they talked me up to what they thought i would need, i was happy and they installed. 3 months later the sub stopped working, took it to them, they upgraded the sub to Rockford punch. Now two months later it has happened again, i took it in to them, this time they removed box and sub and would show it to rockford rep. Yesterday i called to find out, the voice coil is burnt and not covered under warranty? When i tried to find out why, a host of explanations as to possible causes were given. TOO MUCH BASS - no one told me not to play radiohead, i bought the thing for bass? OVERDRIVEN - but you guys chose, installed and set the amp up? TOO HOT - but you guys chose all the components? This is why i had them install it! so it could all be done correctly.. Getting no where i asked for my sub back, i was then told " THE ROCKFORD REP HAS CUT IT IN HALF TO TEST IT" Umm sorry but WHAT , "that is how they test them, he still has it with him" I am looking into this further, awaiting a response from Rockford Australia. At moment AUTOBARN (who are good guys) have my sub box, some guy has two pieces of my sub, and i have a useless amp and receipt. Just thought i would check what you boys think, i must admit it has all left me feeling rather ripped off.

B4 SPARE wheel - OH HOW SCARY

23 May 2010 - 07:13 PM

Today, Woke up to a flat.. ruined morning plans. First time i had to pop the emergency wheel on, Nice yellow rim i must say. Got it up to 80k's making a horrid noise, steering funny as, but got me to the shop $25 repair to old goodrich and off i went. Must admit i was a bit s hitt-in myself driving on the spare with the noise that it made. Anyone else had to run on the spares? recommend grabbing a proper spare if you have emergency spare, would hate to be stuck somewhere more remote.
